My life on the rocks.
latchkey kid I was a latchkey kid growing up. My mom was working and going to school. So I was home alone for at least an hour or two in the afternoon. And I loved it. Almost immediately after school I would head to the neighborhood convenience store. I'd buy candy and snack cakes, then eagerly head home to watch afternoon cartoons. I had a routine....
America's Team. Really? When I was growing up Baltimore didn't have a football team. Most would assume that I would look down the road to DC for a team to cheer for, but no. I looked all over the league and decided to become a Cowboys fan. (I was 12 and thought Troy Aikman was cute.) I dropped my Dallas Star for a Baltimore Raven in '96. But there's still a soft...
The Art of Bridal War Sun Tzu says: Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected. The Wannabe Bride says: Engage him in conversations about marriage when he least expects it. Boyfriend: Honey? Can you get me some toilet paper? You: Sure, if you give me a ring. Sun Tzu says: Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not...
Not the Mama! It's not that I'm anti-baby. I'm just anti-me-having-a-baby. I remember when I was younger I would play with my cabbage patch doll Kristie Mae or Kelly Ann or whatever the heck her name was. I would dress her up in little outfits and do her hair. I had a stroller to cart her around in and we even had matching rain slickers. It was fun for...

It’s become very hard lately to come up with topics to write about. So I’ll just give you snippets of what’s been going on.
I’ve realized a big downfall to all my drink testing…gaining weight. Did you think I was going to say alcoholism or liver damage? Pfft…no. It’s my not-so-girlish figure. I have a martini belly. Continue Reading

I love my bar.
It’s not fancy. And it’s actually a bookshelf that I’ve turned into my bar. But I love it just the same.
There’s something about seeing row after row of liquor that puts a smile on my face (and a grimace on my liver). Continue Reading

Four years ago today my then boyfriend bought me a pumpkin and wrote Happy Anniversary on it. It was our four month anniversary. It’s kind of funny because today I couldn’t even remember how many years we’ve been together.
So every October I nag my now husband to get me a pumpkin to celebrate not only the sweet gesture but also the beginning of what I like to call pumpkin season. The official pumpkin season starts in September and ends in March. But my pumpkin season starts October 1st and ends January 1st. This is the time that I crave nothing but pumpkin pie. And have been known to eat nothing but pumpkin pie. Continue Reading
